3 FOUNDRY NWORKS DATASHE DATASHE VRRP and VRRPe support Layer 3 redundancy while MRP, VSRP, and RSTP support Layer 2 networks. Industry Leading Layer 2 Features Metro Ring Protocol (MRP) Offers an alternative to Spanning Tree based designs and provides sub-second fault detection and fail-over specifically for Metro Ethernet ring topologies. MRP works in conjunction with VSRP and 802.3ad based link aggregation to provide bandwidth scalability and SON like resiliency in Metro Ethernet networks. Virtual Switch Redundancy Protocol (VSRP) Offers an alternative to Spanning Tree based designs and provides sub-second fault detection and fail over protocol for mesh topologies. VSRP works in conjunction with MRP to provide SON like resiliency required for critical Data Center and Metro Ethernet networks and protects against link or switch failures. Foundry's next generation STP Innovations Foundry s innovative features such as SuperSpan, Rapid STP (802.1w) and PVGST (802.1s) dramatically improve the availability and scalability of spanning tree based networks. o Single-instance STP provides a single instance of the STP to run on all the portbased VLANs within a single device, enabling BigIron systems to support third-party devices that run a single STP instance in accordance with the 802.1q specification. o Per VLAN Spanning Tree (PVST) allows Metro service providers control over the spanning tree protocol on a individual VLAN basis to provide traffic engineering. o Per VLAN Group STP (PVGST) based on IEEE 802.1s allows Metro service providers dramatic improvements in STP and VLAN scalability by servicing up to 4,096 VLANs with 2 to 16 STP or Rapid STP instances. PVGST also provides VLAN load balancing for all 4,096 VLANs for efficient utilization of all fiber in a Metro network. o SuperSpan TM a unique innovation from Foundry that allows Metro service providers to build very large Layer 2 Metro Ethernet networks while simplifying manageability and network operations. Metro service providers can organize the network into smaller, faster converging, easy-to-manage standards-based STP domains using SuperSpan while being isolated from STP changes caused by subscriber network settings. o Rapid Spanning Tree Protocol based on IEEE 802.1w Dramatically improves the spanning tree convergence time to sub-second by pre-calculating alternate failover links prior to a link outage. Super Aggregated VLANs (SAVs) allows service providers to decouple the provider VLAN domains from customer VLAN domains. SAVs extend the number of 802.1q based VLANs beyond 4096 by aggregating traffic from multiple VLANs for a single customer into a single provider VLAN. This allows service providers to carry traffic for up to 16 million VLANs in a metro network by serving up to 4096 customers, with each customer using up to 4096 VLANs. High Performance Layer 2 Multicast offers efficient handling of multicast traffic in a Layer 2 environment such as Internet exchanges and Metro access networks. January Foundry Networks, Inc.

4 FOUNDRY NWORKS DATASHE DATASHE o PIM Snooping Dramatically improves the performance of multicast applications such as streaming Video in a Layer 2 Metro by optimizing PIM traffic between Layer 3 Multicast devices that otherwise would propagate traffic to all VLAN port members. o Internet Group Membership Protocol (IGMP) Hardware-based multicast support that forwards only a single copy of a transmission to only the requesting port. Foundry's JetCore ASICs are unique in their ability to recognize and process the multicast join and leave messages embedded in the multicast traffic flows at the port level. Robust Layer 3 Feature Set Foundry s IronWare Software Suite includes advanced Internet strength routing protocols deployed extensively by major ISPs in very large routing environments. BigIron supports the following scalable EGP and IGP protocols: o BGPv4 o OSPF o IS-IS Policy Based Routing (PBR) provides customized routing decisions based on Source address allowing Metro customers to maintain single configurations while having access to different service offerings such as enhanced security, increased flexibility and access to preferred ISPs. Private VLANs allow the service provider increased IP addressing flexibility by partitioning port-based VLANs for security while sharing a common router port. Comprehensive Multicast Routing Feature Set provides hardware-based multicast support including DVMRP, MSDP, PIM-SM (Sparse Mode) and PIM-DM (Dense Mode) protocols that allows network managers to efficiently deploy next-generation streaming media applications for improved employee collaboration and productivity. VRRP and VRRPE (Enhanced VRRP) enable the BigIron configured as router to act as a backup to other routers in the network. In the event of a router failure, the BigIron will automatically and seamlessly perform the tasks of the failed router. VRRPE Extends the capabilities of VRRP by providing network managers the convenience of a virtual interface to aid in traditional IP troubleshooting tools to ensure that a default router is actually up and operational. Dynamic Bandwidth Provisioning and Advanced Quality of Service (QoS) Wire-speed, fine-grain Bandwidth Management JetCore ASICs can identify network traffic based on port, port plus priority, or Layer 4 ACLs and enforce bandwidth limits from 256 Kbps to 1 Gbps in increments as little as 256 Kbps. This allows service providers to meet customer SLAs and improve service velocity and provisioning. Advanced QoS allows administrators to enforce or change traffic priority based on port, VLAN, Source MAC, ACL, 802.1p, Type of Service (ToS) or DiffServ settings, to prioritize business-critical flows. Ultra-low Latency industry-leading port-to-port latency of 10 to 20 microseconds for superior call quality when using VoIP and other latency-sensitive traffic such as video.
